gathered cuff cardi

Friday, June 11, 2010

I think I have my new summer "always take with" me sweater. It's light, soft and the perfect weight for those cool mornings, evenings and days. A pretty straight forward stockinette sweater with just enough interest in the gathered cuff details. Which by the way is the only part of the pattern that I felt required some extra thought. There are increases inside of increases inside of short rows. A little tough at first for my mind to wrap around, but it finally clicked. I love when that happens.

I do feel that this sweater grew a bit after blocking. The pattern calls for blocking pieces and then sewing them together. I always sew my sweaters together and then block them. That is how my mom taught me and that is what I will probably always do. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. (Although we are trying.)

P E R F E C T!!Absolutely.I was just telling LQ that I need a "go everywhere" kind of cardigan! It probably won't be this one...if parts were a challenge to you, I won't make it through!Enjoy taking it with you each and every day!

I love it! And that blue is probably my favorite shade. I'm working on my "take everywhere" cardi, too. It's Odelia from cocoknits. I can't wait until I'm done because I just hate walking down the refrigerated aisle at the grocery store in the summer!

I have been wanting a blue sweater for a while now, and that is a great shade of blue. GREAT looking creation!

Don't you think though that it is easier to seam together blocking the pieces before you sew? I've done it both ways, still new to it all, but I did think it was a little easier. Everything laid flatter and didn't curl so much. What would be the advantage of blocking after seaming? Just wondering~Jan

Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got something good here. But what if you happen to added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or perhaps you could possibly give us something to take a look at, something that might join what youre saying to one thing tangible? Just a suggestion. Anyway, in my language, there will not be much good supply like this.

I LOVE the design of this- and the color! I've been trying to learn how to knit because I have many friends who do, for now I just send them pics of what I want them to make for me. But once I get good enough I'd like to try this. I'm always amazed at what people can make by knitting. I saw a knit wedding dress in a window in Los Angeles the other day!
